Unsinkable by Jenni L. Walsh

4.0

I’m a sucker for a book about that contains anything about the Titanic. I knew that I had to listen to this one when I saw it was available from librofm as an ALC. I love that this book followed two different women at two different points in time. The part that contained the Titanic was actually fairly short but I appreciated how it was told as well as how it went on to affect the rest of Violet’s story. 

Daphne’s story was equally compelling. I thought that following a WWII Special Operations Executive was unique. I haven’t read many books that contain that type of perspective. 

What I think was the most impactful was learning that Violet’s story was based on a real person who survived not one but THREE different sinking disasters of ships she was working on. The fact that she was willing to get back on a ship after just one is incredible. It gave me a greater appreciation for the story as a whole. I did feel like the ending was tied up a little too neatly but, otherwise, I thought this was a great historical fiction novel.
